In the 1970s, the Broward Principals' and Assistant Principals’ Association (BPAA) was founded with a clear mission: to be a powerful advocate for school-based administrators in Broward County, which is recognized as the 6th largest school district in the United States. Over the years, our association has experienced tremendous growth and now proudly boasts a membership of over 575 dedicated professionals.

BPAA has emerged as one of the leading school-based administrator associations in the state of Florida. We have established ourselves as a strong and influential voice, representing the interests, concerns, and aspirations of our members. Our commitment to excellence and our unwavering dedication to the profession has propelled us to the forefront of educational leadership in the region.

We aim to unify the voices of school-based administrators to influence Broward County schools and legislative activities that impact the school environment.

Together, we can achieve greatness and make a lasting difference in the lives of our students and the educational system as a whole.
